FIRIS - A summary of Day 2 (Friday) of the VCAT Hearing.

[DanDare]

The hardest part of fighting this stuff is the discrepancy between "the rules" and what actually happens. The rules are written in a way to seem reasonable (they are not if you analyse them carefully). This is just a cover to allow them to do what they really do which is to convert children and their parents. These rules enable full blown religious predators, the religious groups know this and the court is not in the best position to "see it".

Agreed. Seeing it seems to be the rub. Im sure it would be readily spotted if it were the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his chieftains that was being pushed into classrooms. Sadly, religion really has seeped into the foundation of our secular country. Let's hope the presiding judges will see that and insist on some necessary changes.



Tapa wotsit.

@mikestuchbery will be live tweeting from the hearing on Thursday.

GO FIRIS!!

The sooner we see the back of that awful Yvonne Paddinson and her Liars for Jebus the sooner. Get them the feck out of our schools and Ted Baillieu, stop fecking funding them

Contains full transcript of the program, downloadable audio (MP3) and comment space.

The report lets the bad guys get away with a lot of stuff without hard questioning. I have added a comment to the transcript about the "independent" report on chaplains that gets mentioned but not questioned.
